Greetings All,
First off, a big thanks to everyone on this forum for making it such a tremendous information resource.
I will be taking delivery of an 05 E55 with 10k miles, Flint Grey, loaded vehicle on Friday. I have seen a few of the different rear lip spoiler options out there, and there are 2 that I'm considering, both can be seen on Eb@y:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...66422463QQrdZ1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...65049369QQrdZ1

They basically differ in size. Does anyone here have any pics of installed spoilers, or recommendations on which look/fit best?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have looked thru the archives and pic threads, but the specific info on models is most appreciated!
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to becoming a member of this community. If the weather in NJ permits, I will post a few pics of the new BEAST on Saturday.
MM

I've also considered adding a rear deck lid spoiler. Anyone have thoughts to these "tape on" lips versus having one "professionally installed"? Is it a real big difference? Quality of install? Quality of finished look? Quality of the material the spolier is made of?

I definitely believe you get what you pay for, but I also believe a penny saved is a penny earned.

Why dont you guys wait until the E63 spoiler becomes available from the stealership? I think that one is much better than any aftermarket ones... I will be ordering one and yank out my aftermarket from formymercedes.com.
